I   SEMINARS:

• A half day "start up" seminar that commences your Q-BASE program is given on your premises to introduce your senior staff to Q-BASE implementation.
  
• At the sessions, you will be given detailed instruction on the contents of each of the Q-BASE Code's seven clauses and how these can establish a sound, common sense quality management system within your operations.
  
• You will be shown how these seven clauses can be expressed in a Quality Manual that will truly reflect what your company currently does and what else you may need to do to meet the conditions laid down for the Q-BASE Code.
  
• The seminar also describes what you must do to prepare a Quality Policy Manual which defines your company’s profile and its commitment to quality. This document becomes the introduction (Part 1) to your detailed company Quality Manual (Part 2) that outlines what you do in your operations to comply to the Q-BASE Code.
  
• The final seminar segment outlines a work schedule for the preparation of your company’s Quality Manual and a program that will show you how to get started.

II   TRAINING MANUAL:

• The first part of your training manual contains all that a smaller company needs to know about the processes involved in a Quality Management System. It describes and explains the "what’s", "why’s", and "how’s" of getting a company launched into a quality management program.
  
• The first 5 modules of the training manual describe each of the seven clauses contained in the Q-BASE Code, why they are necessary, what functions they serve, what they mean and how they can be expressed in the context of a company Quality Manual. Each of the clauses are replete with examples that show you "how to do it" and what it could look like in differing types of companies and industries.
  
• The final part of the training manual, (module 6), shows how to develop and prepare a Quality Policy to preface your detailed Quality Manual. In it, you describe your company’s commitment to quality, your company profile, the scope of your quality management system and the direct benefit this implies to your customers.
• The training materials are further supplemented with copies of completed clauses in a "generic" form that represent what other small companies have prepared to meet their needs for compliance to the Q-BASE Code.
  
• All these training materials are written in an easy to understand and simple language. They are designed to be basic but comprehensive. Your finished Quality Manual will consist, typically, of between 25 and 40 pages depending on how detailed you may be required to be for your particular style of organization.
  
• You can also get the entire training manual on a computer disk should you need to have it in that format.
